Autumn is by far my favourite time of year, I love everything from the cooler days to darker evenings and most especially the clothes. Here are two ways I’ve been styling a simple black cord skirt from Harper and Lewis and polo neck jumper from Zara to add a more autumnal feel.

I purchased the top and skirt last week and have got a lot of wear out of them already. Black is such an easy colour to wear that always looks well put together and on trend in my opinion. The boots are a current favourite of mine from Pull and Bear, that I find are perfect for the colder months and although they rubbed a bit at first they are now also super comfy.

A big chunky scarf is a great way of adding both colour and warmth. This particular scarf is a recent addition from TopShop and new love of mine, the colours are perfect for this time of year and go with nearly every outfit. Alternatively a smart grey coat is a great way to break up the black. I got this coat from Zara last year, but I’ve seen they have nearly the exact same one in this year too. Lastly a Trilby hat has been on my shopping list since they first started coming into shops about a year ago and so I finally bought one. My problem was I love the look but I wasn’t sure how much wear out of it I would get, but I bit the bullet and bought one from TopShop and I have to say I am very glad I did.
